$6,400,000

Explanation:

Reduction in mailing time = 1.5 day

Reduction in clearing time = 1.5 day

Reduction in firm processing time = 1.0 day

Total = 4.0 days

Daily interest on Treasury bills = 0.025%

Average number of daily payments to lockboxes = 4,000

Average size of payment = $400

The value of the proposal will be the average number of daily payments to lockboxes multiplied by the total of 4 days which is then multiplied by the average payment size. This will be:

= 4000 × $400 × 4

= $6,400,000

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The spread between yields on long-term and short-term bonds is positive

Explanation:

When term premiums are positive, the yield curve is considered normal, this means that long-term bonds have a higher yield to maturity than short-term bonds, due to the higher risks associated with long-term bonds.

If long-term bonds have a higher yield to maturity (YTM) than short-term bonds, this means that the spread: the difference between the term premiums of long-term bonds and short-term bonds, will be positive.

For example, if the YTM of a 10 year bond is 8%, and the YTM of a 1 year bond is 4%, the spread of of the term premiums will:

8 - 4 = 4%, a positive spread.
